Inter manager Luciano Spalletti spoke with DAZN following Inter’s 4-0 rout of Genoa away from home tonight.

“The performance of the team was excellent and that of a mature team. We have picked up three fundamental points after losing against Lazio,” he started.

He then spoke on Mauro Icardi, who made a scoring return to the team.

“The team must put him in a position to score but he must give more. If you are building up with nine players instead of ten you have something less than your opponent but tonight Icardi played a good game.

“He could have scored another goal and maybe we could have given him something more to work with. Then of course everyone can say what they want then he can create as many problems as possible if he likes but the decisions are made by those who must take them.”

Spalletti then went on to speak further on the team’s performance at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

“Tonight we managed the game more calmly compared to the Lazio match. We chose our moments and forced our opponents to chase us while on Sunday we put in a frenzied performance and Lazio took advantage of that.

“The team arrived with the balance that a strong team must have. Brozovic commanded the midfield and he managed to hurt Genoa with his long balls. Both Politano and Perisic were excellent too.”
